Default How do I send a distribution list by email?

Start by posting precise steps used and mail account type. You just force us
to guess when you don't provide requisite information. "I'm doing
everything..." tell us nothing. Tell us what you are doing.

I'm having the exact same problem---I'm doing everything per the
instructions---sending the DL from a friends computer --she has 2003---we
changed her mailbox to RIch Text.....we're sending it to my puter---I also
changed mine to Rich Text-----I have 2007---does this make a diff? We
used
to do this all the time....and I cannot figure out how to get them now.
Any
help you can add here would be much apprectiated!! I really NEED these
DL's.

Odd. That procedure has worked for everyone else I know so far.
Obviously,
it only works when the recipients are using a similar version of Outlook.
Outlook DL's have no meaning to other email clients.

The DL is in my Contacts in Outlook 2003. I created it by clicking on
the
down arrow next to New/Distribution List. I selected the names from my
contact list. I have also tried the same thing by Adding the names and
typing their email addresses, and both times both people tell me all
they
can
see is my contact info.

When I click Insert Item I see my mailbox, double click on Contacts and
select the distribution list that I want to send to my colleague.

I don't know their email clients, but I will find out.

Thanks.

Still need the other information I asked for: location of this DL and
how
it
was created.
Also need to know recipient email client.
When you use Insert Item, what do you see next
